Great sitter! Looked after the house carefully, and was more clean and tidy than we are! Thanks for leaving some milk and bread as well, much appreciated

This was the second time that Rob sat for us and, like last time, it was very successful. Our cat was very happy and Rob took good care of the house. We

Robert was such a lovely man and he sent us photos of Neo curled up asleep on his lap. He was pleasant and tidy and no bother at all and Neo was quite happy

We would highly recommend Robert as a pet sitter. He looked after our cat for a month. She’s normally a bit nervous around new people but we received a photo

We had the pleasure of Robert and Annemarie Paynter house-sit for us while we were away for 10 days earlier this month. We have two energetic dogs, one of which required medication three times a day and both requiring daily exercise. Despite a very limited time to perform a proper hand-over, Rob and Annemarie coped effortlessly with the tasks at hand, communicated regularly with us and we returned to a pair of very settled dogs who seemed more upset at their departure than happy at our return. The house was left immaculate and they were clearly extremely diligent and took their responsibilities earnestly. I have no hesitation in recommending them for reliable, trustworthy and responsible roles and we would certainly use their services again without hesitation.
